A man posing as pop superstar Justin Bieber has been charged with more than 900 child sex offences, including rape, following an elaborate sting by Queensland police.
The 42-year-old man was arrested after he was caught impersonating the celebrity in order to solicit images from young children.
The man was already facing multiple child sex offences when detectives from anti-child exploitation task force Argos allegedly discovered hundreds of incriminating photographs on his computer.
As a result, he was charged with an additional 931 child sex offences, including, rape, indecent treatment of children, making child exploitation material, using a carriage service to procure person under 16, and using a carriage service for child pornography material.
It will be alleged that the man used multiple online platforms including Facebook and Skype to communicate with his victims.
